PROCEDURES CURRENTLY USED:

Percutaneous Transluminal Balloon Angioplasty (PTA)

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is a procedure that a blocked blood vessel with the help of a small, flexible plastic tubing or catheter with a "balloon" at the end. When the tube has been placed in the right place, it will inflate to reduce the constriction or occlusion and such to open the blood vessel or artery so that normal blood flow is restored.

Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) with paclitaxel

In certain arteries or clinical cases, such as the femoral artery or re-stenosis/re-occlusion, the use of paclitaxel can be beneficial to reduce the risk of further progression of reduce peripheral artery disease.

Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) with cutting and scoring balloon catheter

For severe or complex peripheral artery disease, the use of a cutting balloon (consisting of a balloon with metal blades) and/or a scoring balloon (consisting of a standard balloon surrounded by one or more metal wires) may provide more predictable results.

Percutaneous atherectomy

The use of percutaneous plaque modification using percutaneous atherectomy, in which the atherosclerotic tissue is removed using specially designed rotating tips or burs, and thus the lumen can be restored for optimal blood flow, has proven itself for the treatment of heavily calcified lesions.

Intravascular lithotripsy for the treatment of peripheral arterial Diseases with severe calcification

Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a new technique based on an established treatment strategy for kidney stones. Several lithotripsy emitters are mounted on a conventional catheter platform and emit localized, pulsating sound pressure waves in order to extensively change the vascular calcification and thus enable optimal blood flow.
